Here's a quick and dirty comparison, using Saints Row The Third. My video card won't let me output higher than this resolution, but hopefully it'll let you see what you need to see. I'm uploading them in their raw form, so you can resize as you see fit without causing extra artifacting or anything.

I would probably stick with 1920 and 8xAA. 2560 and 2xAA looked rather bad in comparison to the 8xAA of both 1920 and 2560. I kinda doubt this would be noticable in game, but if you have the power, put up the settings.

Just make sure to resize them with photoshop or something. If you're sticking with 100% view size, or using your browser's zoom setting to get the images the same size, you might not be getting the proper quality comparison. If one of them is zooming to a weird size (like 64% or something), it's not going to properly crunch the jaggies, making them worse!

EDIT: A quick side-by-side.

The lower resolution, higher AA one definitely looks better.

I wonder if mine would look better at DS and 2x since I down sample mine from a higher rez. Also, Most games run 4x DS fine, with the exception of BL2 and SR3 so far... I really want a 680!

EDIT: I like the down sampled w/ 2x better than the non w/ 8x, look at the fence in the background, and the trees shadow.Edited by gopanthersgo1 - 1/18/13 at 10:36pm
